Product Name
Jensen Tapered-Tip 16-Gauge Dispensing Tips (Push-On & Luer-Lock) -1.25-inch
Brief Description
These are industrial-grade, all-plastic, tapered dispensing tips designed for precise and controlled application of various medium to high viscosity fluids. They feature a Luer-Lock connection for secure attachment to dispensing equipment and are 1.25 inches in length.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Dispensing adhesives, glues, epoxies, and sealants- Applying oils and lubricants- Precision application of paints and inks- Crafting, model building, and electronics work- Potting and infilling materials- SMT and PCB repair processes in electronics assembly- Applying sealants and adhesives on sensors and connectors in the automotive industry- General assembly and bonding operations
Industries that Commonly Use It
- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics- Automotive Service/Repair- Artist, Artisan- Chemical Industry- Fabrication- Mold Making/ Casting- Medical Device/ Prosthetics (for manufacturing/assembly, not direct medical use)- Aerospace/Defense- Construction/ Building Services- Countertop- Furniture- Packaging Services or Contractor- Prosumer- Sign & Display- Special Effects/ Scenic Design- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- Tapered design: Reduces backpressure, allowing easier flow of medium to high viscosity materials and preventing clogging.- All-plastic, one-piece construction: Suitable for super glues and anaerobic adhesives, and offers scratch-free protection for sensitive parts.- Luer-Lock connection: Ensures a secure, leak-free attachment to syringe barrels, dispense bottles, metering valves, and XYZ robots.- Blunt tip design: Safer than sharp needles, prevents scratching work surfaces or accidental punctures.- Industrial grade: Designed for industrial and craft use only, not for medical injections.- Silicone-free environment manufacturing: Prevents contamination.- UV-safe plastic: For some variants, offering material protection.
Key Properties
- Gauge Size: 16-gauge, recommended for medium to high viscosity materials like E6000 and Supertite Fushion Tack adhesive.- Length: 1.25 inches.- Material: All-plastic (polypropylene hub, tapered plastic design).- Connection Type: Push-On & Luer-Lock.- Flow Characteristics: Engineered for smooth flow of viscous materials, reducing restriction and backpressure.- Pressure Rating: Industrial grade safe for use up to 100 psi fluid pressures.
Surface Compatibility
- Offers scratch-free protection, making it ideal when working with sensitive parts or surfaces.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other gauge sizes of tapered dispensing tips (e.g., 14, 18, 20, 22, 25, 27 gauge).- Standard dispensing tips (typically with a stainless steel cannula).- Flexible dispensing tips (PTFE or polypropylene tubing) for scratch-free results or curved/problematic areas.- Angled dispensing tips for hard-to-reach areas.- All-metal tips for heavy usage.- PTFE-lined tips for cyanoacrylate dispensing to prevent premature curing and clogging.
Comparison Note
Jensen Tapered-Tip dispensing tips are specifically designed for optimal flow of medium to high viscosity materials by reducing backpressure, which differentiates them from standard straight tips that may struggle with thicker fluids. Their all-plastic, tapered construction also provides scratch-free application, making them suitable for sensitive surfaces where metal tips might cause damage. The Luer-Lock mechanism ensures a more secure and leak-proof connection compared to simple push-on fittings, enhancing precision and reducing waste in industrial applications.
